Scarlett Johansson not eligible for Golden Globes with 'Her'

Apparently awards season gives with one hand and takes away with the other. In one of the season's unlikelier stories, Scarlett Johansson has been building momentum with a performance in "Her" in which she is heard but never seen as the artificial intelligence of an operating system who becomes an emotional foil for a man (Joaquin Phoenix) in near-future Los Angeles. Written and directed by Spike Jonze, the film has a cast that also includes Rooney Mara, Amy Adams and Olivia Wilde.

In an recent interview with The Times, Johansson expressed uncertainty as to how her performance in "Her" would fit into the awards picture.

“I feel very disconnected from the awards process,” Johansson said. “I don’t even know how it works. And I’m an academy member! It seems like a political thing. It just seems like such an abstract thing. Probably as abstract as trying to fit my performance into any particular category.”
